Some of that seems reasonable but swinging a chicken over your head.  :)
What makes shechita, bris milah, or mikvah reasonable by 2019 secular standards?

1 - no I wouldn't waste my time filming and idiotic custom.
2 - some do care.

So would you feel any less of an idiot spending hours pointing a camera at people swinging chickens over their head, most of whom couldn't care less about you and your camera, while some do?  ::) ::) ::)

After reading your posts and edits, you seem to have missed my point:

If you wouldn't waste your time filming, what difference does it make if no-one cares of if someone cares. And if you agree with me that it's a waste of time to film, so wouldn't you agree with me that those people wasting their time doing it are idiots?

Do you have reading comprehension issues?
Do you know what "no" means?

Lets take mikvah. What is so odd about that once it is explained?

Now you go back and look at my edit.

This morning, as I was turning onto Kingston Avenue, I saw someone standing with two dogs on a leash emotionally removing "I Love Kapporos" stickers from a traffic light control box. I found it amusing and felt bad for the idiot, but didn't want to stop traffic to take a video of they guy (though I would have loved to get one of those stickers on his back, just for the prank).

I am having flashbacks.  :)
...and I agree with one of the posters that 12-14 is a walk in the park.  :)

I have seen improved conditions for the chickens as of late which I think we all can agree is a good thing. No need for the chickens to be jammed in crates the whole time.

Chickens that you eat on a regular basis are stuffed onto feeder houses with so many other chickens that they can barely move. They never see the light of day and after they are nice and plump are loaded onto trucks and killed. Not much of a life they are living anyways. If I were a chicken id love to get out for a day before I die.

I'm not who you think I am.

Well, since the action happens to be on my block, the kids of the block have a blast.
My 11 year old just came back and told me that the PETA crowd is going around feeding the chickens watermelons.
